Version 1.4 released on April 03, 2018Introducing Bar Charts!
New Merlin bar charts let you explore migration anywhere in the world. You can find the bar charts by opening up Explore Birds, and using the filter options (button in top right corner) to select the location and date you want to explore under Likely Birds.
More info: Bar charts are an exciting new way to view how common birds are at a location during different times of year. While some birds are common year round, you may only see some species during the winter, during the breeding season, or as they pass through during migration. The bar charts use eBird sighting information to let you know at a glance how common each species is for every week of the year. This is very helpful for identifying birds, or finding birds you want to see.
